For WHooPING CoUGH.-Make a
syrup of prickly pear (Opuntta Uulgaris)
and drink freely. Take about three
moderate-sized leaves of the prickly
pear to a quart of cold water; cut up in
pieces and boil slowly about half aH-
hour, strain out all the prlckles through
close muslin or linen, sweeten with
white sugar and boil a little longer. A
safe and sure cure, and so pleasant to
the taste that infants will take it with
a relish. 1t Is also good for a cold that
settles IN the throat CT lungs. This

How COMMON LAMPS WASTE
LIGHT.-Did 1t ever occur to the
reader that most of the common lamps
actually waste one-half or more Of all
the light produced, and are therefore
doubly expensive? The fame gives off
rays from It's surface; but il WI half
cover the fame, half Of the rays are in
tercepted and lost. This is Just what is
done in a majority of lamps. In sew
sral of the lamps now made this loss is
saved by emitting the metal cap, and
having the glass chimney set down
below the surface OF the fame. Such
an arrangement Is equivalent TO saving
half the expense Of oil. The Argsnd
principle is of great utility. This is an
arrangement for having a current of
air pass up through the centre of a cir
cular flame. furnishing oxygen to its
interior. the combustion is much
more intense and the light correspond
ingly greater.

that in all his travels, which had been

were to be found in New England.
Perhaps nothing adds more to the

and burn the wood. If there are u
logs too rotten for irewood tarn them

dirt is excellent for filling low spots
and is a somewhat valuable fertilizer.

the disIntegratlon of the stone. Marble

becoming heated it is decomposed, car
